Antonio Conte

[Choppin Onions]

Yes. It means you're a coward. Weak, chicken shit mentality. Juve didn't say their target was top 4. Real and even barca in their shit state ain't saying that. Bayern isn't saying it. Liverpool and ManC ain't saying that.

They can say what they want. The bookies will have us as favorites to win the scudo...

Juve still have an extremely strong squad. And IMO still the favourites. They’re taking a chance with Pirlo though. For someone with no managerial experience, he has to deal with a lot of egos in that dressing room.

Yea, it is "easy" to be a coach when things are still fine and everybody happy. After couple losses, media pressure and players tantrums are the coaching skills really tested.

 

[CafeCordoba]

Juve having a stronger squad means our coach needs to outplay his opponent and Conte should do that against Pirlo.

What I would have liked from our owners is to go all-in and make sure we will end Juve's run by investing more than Hakimi. Then equal squad + better coach would have make it "more secure" to go to the season. Now if it can be considered equal in terms of Juve better squad and Inter better coach, it's a coin toss. Who the fuck wants coin tosses when you could have taken the advantage?

Man I just can't wait to watch a football match and forget or focus on something other than this toxic, pathetic, and aggravating last month or so. Of course during the act of watching our boys play I'll probably hope for someone to erase my memory and spare me the misery of supporting Inter.

We did start last season guns blazing so here's to that happening again. Some sexy counter-attacking would be appreciated.

Sounds like Conte to me.

We'll see at the end of the season how it finished.

Obviously I'm with you on that. It's not my money and if only we can invest it in a smart way, the more probability for us the better.

The problem is we have no clue about the state of our finances. We can only guess. If there was some leak, and I would knew we are sitting on 50mln and we do not want to invest but Suning wants to cash in, I would be pissed. Obviously. But we have no way of knowing that, unfortunetly. I don't think there are clear signs we have lots of cash there laying as we invest heavily each summer lately. Maybe we will get a suprise though.

I do prefer hearing that rather than the anti-Juve bullshit we used to be serve during the Spalletti-Icardi era, only to reverse back into "the team is weak" right when we start playing tougher games.
Anyway the pitch will decide, what they say in press conference won't.Knowing Conte I'm willing to put money on the fact that he is 1000% going for the scudetto.

 

[Ethor]

Heck, I'm ignoring all this media and management predictions along with the associated shuck and jive. I want Conte to pick the best 11, and sub timely and correctly this season.

Of course he's going for it, no doubt about it. And I want better from him in h2h than last season when Sarri, whose team hated him, outplayed him twice.

But I have a confident feeling Conte has introduced some new patterns to our buildup phase so we can continue what we started last season. What is absolutely required is to repeat the win streak we had at the start of the season. And please this time not the Dec-Jan slump.

If I see that back three ever again

 

[Pajo]

No more Pazza Inter he said. fuck off, its in our DNA.

 

[Javier'sSon]

Waiting for his comments like I'm anticipating a post-cliffhanger episode.

 

[Rod]

Anyone understands Conte?

 

[vex]

He fucked it up with eriksen and brozo imo, but he threw a nuclear bomb on fiore in second half, so he deserves the praise there. Hopefully hakimi starts in next one aswell, young can only be useful cutting inside on the left.

 

[Javier'sSon]

Anyone understands Conte?

Only Vidal does.

 

[Ethor]

Anyone understands Conte?

I sure don't but in the end he got it right today albeit late, with an assist by the opposing coach.

 

[M.Adnan]

The fucking defense

 

[IRR26]

Conte is more crazy than Inter to field defence like that. I would like to know what he is smoking.

He is trying to reinvent this game. There was only one defender on field and 7 midfielders. Inter is having midfielders for 3 teams. It was crazy when Conte subbed almost the whole midfield. He really changed the whole midfield:

Inter: Handanovic; D’Ambrosio, Bastoni, Kolarov; Young (Hakimi 65), Barella (Vidal 74), Brozovic (Nainggolan 74), Perisic (Alexis Sanchez 78); Eriksen (Sensi 65); R Lukaku, Lautaro Martinez

Interesting to see if Skriniar will leave after this. I don't believe Inter will get far with only couple defenders.

 

[Glass box]

Not gonna give him much credit here. He fucked up the starting eleven and again reacted too late in the game, only this time we were lucky.

Putting Young on the right hand side instead of Hakimi was an abomination.

The whole back line sucked. I understand De Vrij was suspended, but Bastoni is bad centrally, Kolarov sucked and D'Ambrosio was terrible.

Hopefully with De Vrij back we'll no longer see such abominable backline.

 

[NeonBlade]

I wasn't surprised we were losing to Fiorentina, that was always a possibility despite us having a superior squad, it was the manner in which it was taking place. This was actually a shocking game, shocking. It usually isn't the players obligation to bail a coach out of the fire, but we actually have class and grit now. Hakimi is class, Radja is a pure warrior. It was complete technical blunders and madness form our so called coach, aided of course by Iachini. He thought he had the game wrapped up.

But we can't continue this way. Under no circumstances must we consider selling Skrinar, Conte needs to leave before that happens.

Hakimi stopped playing for dortmund in June and has been training with us for what, less than 3 weeks?
When have you ever seen bastoni centrally aside from tonight to say he "sucks" there?
Dambro I agree. I was hoping to see skriniar but then Dambro goes and scores the winner to confuse things
